Kingston Savage 8GB 2133MHz Memory Kit Review

Memory is by far the single most produced hardware component (Power Supply Units come in at a very close second) that goes into your computer in the PC industry to date. It’s no wonder that when it comes to choosing a good set of memory for your first rig, that things can quickly get overwhelming. Does this scenario sound familiar? You log into your favorite tech retailer, scroll through pages upon pages of module after module.

Don’t worry we have all been there. With that lets take a look at the new Savage 8GB (4GB x 2) 2133MHz memory kit from Kingston.
